The Algerian Country recalled Wednesday, February 8, its ambassador to France. A reminder “for consultations” according to the official formula. Algiers declares to “protest firmly against the exfiltration” described as “clandestine and illegal” of an Algerian national, Amira Bouraoui, to France.

The mentioned country accuses France of having clandestinely exfiltrated the Franco-Algerian activist Amira Bouraoui, from Tunis to Lyon, on Monday, February 6. The Algerian presidency announced in a press release published on Wednesday, February 8 that Said Moussi, Algeria’s ambassador to Paris, has been recalled to Algiers “for consultation” with immediate effect.

In An authorized document from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Algeria strongly protested against “the clandestine and illegal exfiltration, by diplomatic, consular and security personnel of the French State in Tunisia, of an Algerian national whose physical presence on the national territory is prescribed by the Algerian justice”.

Algeria, which refers to the violation of its national sovereignty, rejects this “inadmissible” development which causes “great damage” to Algerian-French relations.
